New App to Help the Homeless in Seattle

September 15, 2016

There’s a new app out called GiveSafe, which is aimed at helping the homeless in Seattle. The way it works is you download the app, which connects you to nearby homeless people who are looking to get back off the streets. They are connected to you by electronic beacons, which have been distributed to them by homeless shelters. From the app, you can donate to any nearby person who has been given a beacon. The beacons allow the person to spend the money only on items that will actually help them, such as transportation, food, warm clothing etc. Allan & Ashley talk all about it, listen here!
